Round Succulent PlantersWe begin with round planters that showcase amazing displays of greenery. But don’t think it’s all about the green. Sometimes it’s about the color as well. Note the amazing rows of color and texture shown in the arrangement below. What a great way to create an impact! [fromChickweed]

Another strategy: Choose succulents of a similar shape, but vary the color and size.Round succulents such as echeveria are perfect for an arrangement like the one below, and they are a true succulent favorite. Plus, they’re perfect for round planters, as their form mirrors the shape of their container! [from Pot Incorporated via Houzz]

A raised round planter is a popular modern statement that is increasingly gracing contemporary yards. There’s nothing like adding a little height to your space! And don’t be afraid to add height to your arrangement using a non-succulent selection, such as a spiky grass. [from Big Red Sun]

Succulent Arrangement StrategiesNext we showcase a few succulent arrangement techniques that add interest and style. For example, don’t hesitate to add some seashells to the mix! Succulents often have a “sea creature” look, so it’s especially fitting that pieces such as sea urchins and sea fans would be used to complement their forms. Below we see a mix of succulents and shells in a copper trough. [from Glenna Partridge Garden Design]

We now zoom into one succulent arrangement for our next tip: Use gravel, rocks and glass pieces to create a plantscape. After all, it doesn’t hurt to get creative! Plus, adding patches of color and texture results in a unique statement, as well as a modern look. Now you can sculpt a mini-world in a container! In addition to the nursery, you can head to your local craft store or rock and mineral shop for goodies and inspiration. [from Big Red Sun]

One more friendly reminder: Use succulents to add pops of color. Many modern yards forgo flowering plants for native grasses, cacti and other green choices. You don’t need flowers to add color. You can always throw in some radiant hues by way of a succulent planter. How many different shades can you count in the vibrant arrangement below? [from Sitescapes]

Unique Succulent ArrangementsWe now take a look at some unconventional arrangements that are perfect for the gardener who wants to be a true original! For example, the driftwood arrangement below illustrates that magic that results when you use air plants and succulents such as echeveria to create a bouquet of greenery that emerges from a branch.

Want to catch your guests off guard? Mount your succulent arrangement on the wall! This is the ultimate way to blur the line between gardening and art. And it decreases the chances that squirrels will find your arrangement on an accessible table and take a nibble… [from Big Red Sun]
